IN-E-HyClip DI-V1_10 Document code HygroClip DI digital interface: instruction manual Document title Lightning protection Cabling in areas with a risk of lightning requires a lightning protection. For cabling underground in between buildings, we recommend the use of special fiber optic cables. If this is not possible, use copper cables that are suitable for underground installation.
IN-E-HyClip DI-V1_10 Document code HygroClip DI digital interface: instruction manual Document title The following points should also be observed: • Close the parasitic circuit • Connect all devices to the potential equalizing cable as often as possible. Electrical conductors such as machine elements, metal tubes or supporting constructions should be integrated into the system.
